ODDSAC

If you're in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, make sure and check out Danny Perez and Animal Collective's new film/visual album ODDSAC. It's premiering tonight at 8:30 pm at the Prospector Square Theatre in Park City, and while we haven't seen it yet we promise it will be totally marvelous, because it is Animal Collective: 

  

Final 10!

From an initial field of 250 startups, soundtrckr has been chosen as 1 of 10 finalists for the Mobile Premier Award in Innovation! 

As we mentioned last week, the MPAs are taking place during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and the award ceremony will be held on February 15 at the Petit Palau of the Palau de la Música Catalana. CEO Daniele Calabrese and COO Ken Manning will be on hand to present soundtrckr to the judges and the public, and in the meantime you can check out what all the finalists are up to on this fun Twitter List.

We're honored to have made it to the finals, and hope to see you there!

Soundtrckr Nominated for MPA in Innovation!

Soundtrckr has been nominated for the 2010 Mobile Premier Award in Innovation! 

The MPAs are a big deal-- they're the world's largest and most prestigious competition for mobile sector startups, and their media partners include trendsetting giants like TechCrunch and Mashable. All nominees for the Innovation Award are selected by local chapters of the Mobile Monday network, so we're honored and excited to be recognized by our peers.

 

Equally exciting is that the MPAs are taking place at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a massive international event expecting over 50,000 attendees. 

Everything starts on February 15, in Spain, with all of the culture, food, nightlife, and general Mediterranean seaside ambiance that this entails.  

 

Until then, and as always, you can download the soundtrckr iPhone app here. 

Press Update: John Vasko, MediaNet, and Lokale Suche

Today, John Vasko of Social Media Marketing released part 1 of his predictions for tech, web, and social media in 2010. Happily, the mainstreaming of geosocial apps and services came in at #1, with soundtrckr getting a nice namecheck alongside perennial favorites Foursquare, Gowalla, and Brightkite. 

Meanwhile, at MediaNet's blog, the beloved providers of our massive music library checked out last month's Wired article on soundtrckr and totally think you should, too.

Finally, German website Lokale Suche takes a stroll through Google Translate and asks this pleasantly cryptic and koan-like question: "Where does the music?"

The answer, it turns out, is soundtrckr! But that is not all, insists Lokale Suche, for not only is soundtrckr where the music does, it is also the perfect place for a person to work his or her Muntermachermusik. Obviously this has been our intent since the beginning, and we tip our hat kindly to Lokale Suche for the shout.
